Having taken a look inside the My Clippings text file extracted by Calibre, I could see that as a way to move forward. Then, Chris Aldrich commented

“If you sync your books/notes to the Kindle desktop app, you can also alternately export your notes and highlights from individual texts as raw html with one of their interface buttons from the Kindle app”.

Alas, I can see no such button. At least not on the desktop.

A little disappointed, I futzed around on the internet for a while, where the collected wisdom is not very wise. A lot of the advice riffs on “a) Copy the notes and highlights you want to share, and paste them into a txt. file or a docx file.” Either that, or it requires Evernote.

Harrumphing, I tried the Bookcision bookmarklet, on Chrome, and it works beautifully. I downloaded three different packages for the data: text, XML and JSON. The one slight problem is that I have no idea how to turn the JSON file into presentable HTML. I could do it for the XML, but while thinking about that I suddenly remembered that I do also have the Kindle app on my iPhone. No idea why, as I don't believe I'd ever read any book on the phone. (The only document in it was a podcast script, which suggests that I may have tried using it for that purpose before I discovered the brilliant Teleprompter.css in Marked 2.)

So I fired up Kindle on the phone, downloaded one of the books I'd marked up, looked at the marginalia and there was an option to share an HTML file as email. And lo, untouched, it works beautifully.

So, I need first to figure out some quiet little changes to the CSS for those notes (or not) and then I have a workflow: Read the book on Kindle (or, I suppose phone, if I'm desperate), open Kindle App on phone, export notes as HTML, prettify (or not) and copy notes to a new post, which could incorporate additional thoughts, review-like stuff etc.

I'm not seeing the HTML export on the desktop version of Kindle (from 2015) on my work laptop at the moment, but I'm positive it's hiding somewhere on my desktop machine, which is currently out of commission for some quirky problems. When I get it running, I'll try to document the feature as I don't think I've seen it mentioned anywhere else and it was tremendously easy and helpful.

I hadn't tried Bookcision as I'd stumbled across what I supposed was an easy answer, but there are a few edge cases for non-Amazon books in my collection that might benefit from using it as Amazon doesn't always play well with content that doesn't originate from the "mothership".

There are also some in the community who have tools (like Kevin Marks' http://www.unmung.com/ ) which can do inter-conversion. I can't recall specifics at the moment, but someone in the chat will likely know of the others, or you can search github to find some of the opensource ones https://github.com/search?q=indieweb&ref=opensearch (it can be an interesting browse in general for things you didn't know you needed/wanted).

Finally, I liked the teleprompter.css hint for marked2, but if you've not come across it, I often read newspaper, magazine articles, and fiction on my mobile using RSVP-related technology (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) which has been patented (though I'm not so sure it's enforcable) by http://spritzinc.com/get-spritz and for which there are multiple apps floating around for multiple platforms. My favorite thus far is Balto-reader which I think may only be available in the Amazon store, but it's one of the few I've found that can break through Amazon's encryption to allow using Spritz-like technology on my Kindle Fire or Android Phones. I don't recommend using it to read technical documents or passages which require more thought, but it's lovely on mobile and has a nice bookmarklet for reading web-based articles quickly. If it's something you think you'd use, but you can't find something that can access Amazon books, let me know and I can suggest some workarounds that will allow Amazon book access.

There are so many beautiful places which we can visit. There can be impressive views in early morning. People can visit places with their family. They can spend holiday at good places where they feel good and enjoy well in good atmosphere.
